MERIDEN MAN CHARGED WITH FAILURE TO APPEAR

THE HARTFORD COURANT

A Meriden man was arrested on a warrant Friday at 4 p.m. and charged with second-degree failure to appear.

James Smith, 35, of 200 Bunker Ave., did not appear in court after he was arrested on Dec. 21, 1996, and charged with operating a motor vehicle while under suspension, police said. He was released after posting $1,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in Middletown Superior Court Friday.
